Amaya's Hair with Heart challenge

I'm doing the Hair with Heart challenge and I need your help!

On Friday the 16th of January 2026, I'll be donating 40cm of my hair to fundraise for Australian kids in need.  

All proceeds will go towards Variety – The Children’s Charity, which supports kids who are sick, experiencing disadvantage or living with a disability. 

Your donation will help raise vital funds for those who need it, including kids who are experiencing permanent hair loss from medical conditions such as alopecia and cancer.

This will be my third time donating my hair for Variety, so I hope you can join me in making a difference. Every gift, no matter the amount, makes an impact.

Thank you for your support!

My Updates

Officially cut my hair!

Saturday 17th Jan
Yesterday I went to the hairdressers and cut my hair! I haven't had hair this short in well over a decade, so it's been an adjustment, but now I have over 40cm of hair carefully waiting to be posted to Variety :)

Thanks for all the support
